ENTRY       EC 3.1.13.1
NAME        Exoribonuclease II
            Ribonuclease II
CLASS       Hydrolases
            Acting on ester bonds
            Exoribonucleases producing 5'-phosphomonoesters
REACTION    Exonucleolytic cleavage in the 3'- to 5'-direction to yield
            5'-phosphomononucleotides
SUBSTRATE   DNA
            H2O
PRODUCT     3'-Phosphomononucleotides
COMMENT     Preference for single-stranded RNA.  The enzyme processes
            3'-terminal extra-nucleotides of monomeric tRNA precursors,
            following the action of EC 3.1.26.5.  Similar enzymes: RNase Q;
            RNase BN; RNase PIII; RNase Y.  Formerly EC 3.1.4.20.
